Politics

Ive been busy.  Sorry, but so many xciting things, and not so xciting, still deserve our attention.

On the way out of town I stopped to eat and there were several vans and drivers and passengers sitting there in plain site.  Then I saw the vans with the El Paso County markings, El Paso county now has a van pool, that we pay for to bring people in from clint, fabens, and san elli.  Im sure we have them in other parts of the county and I dont recall voting for this.

Im sure the passengers have signed a release of liability, because it is only a matter of time that these vans will run into a train as is the custome in the lower valley.  The eight passengers will all end up in the hospital, some will die, and some will sue.  They will blame the county for their grief, their alineation of affection, and any thing else they can come up with ..... and the bill goes to the taxpayer.  Im probably just imagining things, just chalk it up to my paranoia!

www.elpasoinc.com, our other paper went to Sierra Blanca published a photo of the old ghost town.  David Crowder (dcrower@elpasoinc.com) the paper's reporters calls the town, impoverished.  I guesss he wants to raise our sympathy for the ghost town so we can bring it back to life.

Anyway, how many of you are ready to go work in the mines?  It is a ghost town because it doesnt have water, water that you will probably need to survive the 110 degrees plus, water that they dont have.  They will also need water to process the ore.  But impoverished, no fucking way!
